It's so sad that he has Alzheimer's and is almost a shell of a man he used to be.  We miss you Jack and will always remember your legacy.

The world is missing the knowledge and experience Jack Hanna gave to millions of us growing up in the 80's and 90's.

Jack is lost to Alzheimers/Dementia now...what a joy it was watching him and learning from him. Thank you, Jack Hanna.

This man has knowledge, experience, and common sense.

It's such a shame with all the knowledge he has and now he's got dementia it is so sad

Thank you Jack for clearing up THIS aint ''Disney''

Listening to his explanation makes you realize what is lost with his medical condition.  God bless him.

Mr. Jack Hanna Before his Alzheimer's disease...Champion for animal protection & preservation. God Bless!

Thank you for providing an interview of sufficient length to explain what happened.

JUST HEARING JACK HANNA HAS ALZHEIMERS  IS SO VERY SAD.  I still watch his shows on TV every Saturday morning.  I am 82 years old.

Mom should have been charged with not taking care of her child, resulting in the gorilla's death.  The whole thing was sad.  Love Jack Hanna.  Truly one of our heroes.

Really excellent interview.  Thank you for letting him speak at length.

Jack Hanna explained the gorilla very well.

Hurts my heart that Alzheimer’s has ravaged him. Hate to hear it for anyone as far as that goes. Love Jack Hanna, watched him for decades & he was always informative & entertaining. He is such a caring man. God bless him & his family.

Jack essentially said that the silverback male was startled, hence he knows for a fact that he would (though unintentionally) definitely have hurt the child

great explanation by this expert. now I have a better understanding of the story. thanks Jack Hanna

thank you for posting this unedited....

My third child ( on the spectrum) needed a LEASH.  No matter what I said she would get away.... disappear. She'd get  obsessed..chasing a peacock or something. I almost had a heart attack chasing after her and finding she was climbing onto the top of a giraffe shed from a bridge. I was constantly chasing after her. Picnics. My grandmother's funeral.... (And SHE can still disappear in an instant at age 26.) Kids on the spectrum are known to do this. Even though they FAILED to diagnose her as a child, I know what the situation was.
 I feel such empathy for what Jack and his wife have gone through.

Jack Hannah knew what he was talking about.  A great animal advocate, a great man.

God bless you Jack, for educating all of us of animal behavior!  I am so appreciative!
